More 2nd Century Witnesses to Christ’s Deity

In this short post I will be citing excerpts from two early 2nd century writers on Christ’s Deity, the first will be from a Christian and the second from a pagan satirist. All emphasis will be mine.

Aristides the Philosopher

  1. Since, then, we have addressed you concerning God, so far as our discourse can bear upon him, let us now come to the race of men, that we may know which of them…

The Christology of Pseudo-Clement

In this post I will be referencing two pseudonymous works attributed to St. Clement of Rome. Despite the fact that scholars question the authenticity of these writings, they still serve as an early witness, in fact a 2nd–4th century testimony, to the beliefs of the Christians which composed them. These sources show that the author(s) affirmed the essential Deity of Christ, his Incarnation and…

A Relentless Enemy: Zeiram and the “Roaring Lion” Called the Devil

Happy Friday, otaku! Here I come again with another “old school” anime devo, but as Discotek Media says in all their sizzle reels, “Blu-rays are forever. So are the classics.” Speaking of them, they released today’s subject on Blu-ray a few years ago: Iria: Zeiram the Animation (1994). This six-episode OVA (original video animation) from… Read More A Relentless Enemy: Zeiram and the “Roaring…

Eusebius on Nicaea

The letter was written by Eusebius of Caesarea to his congregation, explaining why he and the others fully embraced and consented to the initial creedal formulation of Nicaea. In so doing, Eusebius is shown to be a Trinitarian who did not teach that the Son and the Spirit are creatures which were brought into being from nothing (creatio ex nihilo). All emphasis will be mine.

Origen: Trinity, Creatio Ex Nihilo & the Church as Spiritual Israel Pt. 2

I continue from where I left off from Book II of Origen’s commentary on John: Origen: Trinity, Creatio Ex Nihilo & the Church as Spiritual Israel.

  1. The Word Was in the Beginning, I.e., in Wisdom, Which Contained All Things in Idea, Before They Existed. Christ's Character as Wisdom is Prior to His Other Characters.

So many meanings occur to us at once of the word arche. We have now to ask…

Origen: Trinity, Creatio Ex Nihilo & the Church as Spiritual Israel

In this post I will be quoting from the Commentary on John (Origen).

The citations that I will be providing will help the readers see that Origen affirms,

The Monarchy (monarchia) of the Father, that he is the unbegotten Source of Divinity.

Christ is the uncreated Wisdom of God, being the timelessly begotten Son of the Father.

Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the…

Augustine, Filioque & Economic Processions

The following excerpt is taken from St. Augustine’s On the Holy Trinity, Book 4. In it, the blessed saint reasons that the Father’s sending of the Son into the world is a sign and reflection of the Father’s having eternally begotten/generated the Son. Augustine takes this economic procession, e.g., the Father’s sending forth the Son to be born of a woman, as indicative of their eternal…

Ignatius on Christ as the Uncreated, Timeless & Ageless God

All emphasis will be mine.

Ignatius on Jesus’ Physical, Bodily Resurrection

In this post I will cite from a letter of St. Ignatius, the holy martyr of Christ and the Bishop of Antioch, being an eyewitness and pupil of the holy Apostles, who learned the faith directly from them. Ignatius testifies that Christ was raised in his physical, fleshly body, which he has now made immortal. All emphasis will be mine.

I'm queer, Catholic, and beloved by God

I was raised Catholic, and that’s never been something I could or wanted to shake. Faith was the first language I learned. Before I could read, I knew how to kneel, how to whisper a prayer, how to trace the sign of the cross over my chest. I loved the rhythm of it all — the rise and fall of the hymns, the smell of incense curling through sunlight, the soft echo of the priest’s voice in the…

Origen: Monarchia & the Filioque

The following excerpts are from Origen’s Commentary on the Gospel of John. In this section, Origen will argue for the Father being stronger and greater than the Son, and the Spirit owing his existence/essence to the Son, and not just the Father alone. However, Origen makes it clear that he doesn’t mean this in terms of the Son and Spirit being created from nothing or creation, but in respect to…

Linus Rome's First Bishop, Clement’s Letter, Scriptures & Miracles

The following extracts are taken from Eusebius’ Church History. All emphasis is mine. 

Book III

Chapter 2. The First Successor to St. Peter in Rome. 

  1. After the martyrdom of Paul and of Peter, Linus was the first to obtain the episcopate of the church at Rome. Paul mentions him, when writing to Timothy from Rome, in the salutation at the end of the epistle.

Chapter 3. The Epistles of the…

Athanasius on the Ancient Basis for the Nicene Formula

This excerpt is taken from St. Athanasius who claims that the language adopted by Nicaea to describe the Son’s essential equality with the Father isn’t new but quite ancient, going back to at least 130 years earlier. Athanasius exposed the Arian heretics by appealing to an unbroken chain of Apostolic succession of Bishops to prove that the Church has always taught this truth about the Son.

Chrysostom: St. Ignatius & Peter as the Master of the World

The following is taken from St. John Chrysostom’s Homily on St. Ignatius. All emphasis will be mine.

  1. And I will speak of a fourth crown, arising for us out of this episcopate. What then is this? The fact that he was entrusted with our own native city. For it is a laborious thing indeed to have the oversight of a hundred men, and of fifty alone. But to have on one's hands so great a city, and…
Drunk God Makes A Few Dozen Roosters Materialize Over Pacific Ocean

HONOLULU—Cackling wildly as He willed the barnyard fowl into existence, a drunk God Almighty, Supreme Leader of the Universe, reportedly made a few dozen roosters materialize Thursday over a random point in the Pacific Ocean. “Yo, Gabriel, check this shit out!” the wasted Creator of All Things said while jostling the archangel on the shoulder […]

Early Church, the Cross, Deut. 28:66 & Jer. 11:19

In this post I will be looking at two OT texts, which the early Christians saw as foreshadowing Christ’s crucifixion. These early writers employed these particular verses as prophesying or prefiguring Christ’s death on a cross.

First Prophecy

I begin with the following reference from the Jeremiah:

“and I am as a lamb or a bullock brought to the slaughter; and I know not that they fabricate…

Ambrose, Augustine, Peter of Lombard on Gen. 1:26

In this post I will cite the works of three intellectual and spiritual giants of the Faith to show how they interpreted Genesis 1:26-27, particularly verse, where God uses plural pronouns when speaking of making man in the image and likeness of God. The readers will see that these magnificent men of the Church took the plural as proof that the Trinity created mankind in their image and likeness.…
